Designing the Obvious by Robert Hoekman, Jr.

Communicating Design by Dan M Brown

New set of books added to my to-read pile. Actually, the bottom two books (designing the obvious and communicating design) was from a much earlier Amazon order.

I used my sitepoint gift voucher (topped up with some more cash) to get the sitepoint books.

Both! I love design, CSS, web standards, etc. Some of the guys at work keep shaking their head and said I should get a life but I love this stuff!

I'm halfway through "designing the obvious" myself, started the polar bear book edition 3 ("IA for the web"), and also have mint copies of "communicating design" and "designing for interaction" (bought after OzIA last year) awaiting to be folded open. And am awaiting another Amazon delivery (Alsops Microformats, Restful web services, and another one I can't think of). I guess that would keep me going for the rest of the year (although there are already other books on my mind too). Actually, what am I doing on Flickr, don't have time... If only we could put them under our pillows at night, and wake up with the knowledge ready to go.
Not a big fan of Sitepoint books though...

@Halans - I started the polar bear book too. Microformats book is on my to-buy list. What's the restful web services book?

And I agree with your wish - wish I could put them under my pillow at night and absorb them by morning!

I'm in the 3rd chapter of Restful web services (which means the others are sidetracked, again), and it's a pretty good read. It's about webservices using the resources-based architecture of the internet (on HTTP level with GET, POST, PUT, DELETE etc) in comparison to the big WS* (esp. SOAP based). It is more technical, but it could fit in a bit with IA (the User finding and using information, where User is maybe an Ajax based client). Flickr is a good example, look at the way the URI is constructed /photos/laruth/536581799/. That URI is pretty Restful.

Hmm, is this turning into a geeks bookclub :)
